Hmm.. But that doesn't seem to be the problem.

What the following change does it basically disable the functionality of
generating an escape sequence for keys that don't usually generate a sequence
on their own.

That means that some key on your keyboard does not usually geenrate
output, but rxvt will assign it a keycode of \033[<modifier>;<keysym>A

Can you find out which key that is?

Yes, what would have to be done is find out which keys are typed, which
sequence is produced and which seuqndce should have been produced :)
